A Nairn community theatre group is getting ready to take on stage with their second production after a successful Christmas panto debut in December.

Since their sold-out show, ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas, Community Acting and Singing Together (CAST) members have been hard at work for their adult panto Spank & Stein, which will be on at Nairn Community and Arts Centre in May.

CAST co-founder Jean Morrison said the group is looking forward to performing in front of the audience with a “hilarious” show.

She said: “With Rocky Horror Show meeting Young Frankenstein, we have a hilarious show for people to enjoy.

“It's a fun-filled, adult-themed panto – rude, cheeky and totally mad.

“Cast members are from our Christmas panto, which was a huge success and thus, with our second production, we are hoping it will be just as successful as profits go to local good causes.

“We hope to have plenty of audience participation with singing and dancing in your seats to great music.

“I am directing with help from Dionne Monteiro who also has her work cut out with choreography. We also have Ashleigh Wilson who is also a dancer – the rest of us have two left feet!!”

Proceeds will go to the Seaforth Club in Nairn, where the group has been rehearsing since its start at no cost.
